Affirming Media Images

It is not often that I am pleased by whatever I may read or see in a newspaper. But after seeing this picture of Australian champion swimmer Grant Hackett at the Herald Sun online, I feel positively good about myself.

Having now seen the before and after shots I still cannot fathom how his whole body shape changed within a matter of days!Gut, love handles, emerging man boobs - all gone!3.5 litres of water and carbs does not do that and disappear so quickly!?!I'm all confuddled now and will need a lie down...with some choccy bikkies...

If you actually saw the video of him coming out of the water he was breathing heavily using his abdomen. So on breathing out he look to have a fat gut and this is when the shot was taken of him. Last nights news showed him in true physical form ready for th Olympics.

My public diary, not my private one. I live in a highrise apartment building in inner Melbourne. My interests are varied but top of the list are old buildings, history and public transport. You will find plenty of personal experiences to read in my blog too. Just be aware I am not an historian, amateur or otherwise. While I make some effort to be accurate, I don't do proper methodical research so I advise you check all details on your own behalf should you wish to quote me. Your comments are very welcome, but try to be nice to my fragile yet overblown ego. I enjoy receiving email. You can find my eddress in my complete profile.
